Re: [docbook-apps] moving to docbook

[Steve Ball <Steve.Ball@explain.com.au>]

Hi Aaron,

We have corresponded before.  I am the main developer of the round- 
tripping XSL stylesheets; my company, Packaged Press, is sponsoring  
the continued development effort of this system.

Through our consulting firm, Explain, we provide a full range of  
professional services - planning and design of your publishing  
system, development of customised templates and stylesheets, as well  
as training for in-house developers and authors.

We are only too happy to help you establish your initial setup and  
then do all necessary technology transfer so that you can support and  
maintain your system on an on-going basis.

Feel free to contact me directly to discuss your needs and to prepare  
a quotation.

Cheers,
Steve Ball
